10 Expert Picks for back to school

We literally don’t know where we’d be without Bed Bath & Beyond each back to school season. Not only do they have everything we could possibly need as we're gearing up to head back to campus, but they also have the best-of-the-best options available!

We at UNiDAYS fancy ourselves experts on all things college (and for good reason), so naturally we have no shortage of recommendations and advice when it comes to stocking up on items for your dorm room. While not necessary the most glamorous stuff, I think you’ll find our expert suggestions are just the solutions you've been looking for (whether you realize you need a fix or not). You can find even more necessities and Expert Picks over on the Bed Bath & Beyond website!

1. Studio 3B™ Lighting 8-Watt LED USB Desk Lamp

If you're waiting 'til the last moment to cram for that test, these chic af lamps are the first tool you need to get that 86%. Who says you can’t have it all? A wild weekend and one late night lamp-side is all you need to stay slightly above average. The USB port is a game changer for easy charging.

2. Sleep Safe™ Pillow Protector in White

Don’t let the bed bugs bite. Literally. These protectors for your pillows will prevent dust mites, bed bugs, and allergens from affecting your sleep. All your pillows should be zipped into these. As someone who’s had bed bugs once or twice in their life, it’s worth every penny.

3. Studio 3B™ 3-Drawer Adjustable-Top Storage Cart in Grey

Dorm rooms are small, and this adjustable-top storage cart is perfect for tight spaces. You’re going to end up moving your dorm furniture around more times than you can count. This will fit your space perfectly every single time.

4. Poo-Pourri® Before-You-Go® Toilet Spray

You juice cleansed all week for that first date with the cute guy from BioChem: 101, but if you know anything about CHEMistry, you’ll know that BIOlogically, you’re going to need to go - and you won't be able to hold it 30 minutes past the meet time. When you do dodo, your date will think your biological makeup is flowers and sunshine.

7. Studio 3B™ Slim Grips™ Hangers (Set of 16)

NEVER trust someone who uses sh!tty hangers… Seriously, it’s a proven fact that quality hangers are life changing. Anyone who pretends that cheap hangers do the same job (don’t EVEN get me started on using the free wire hangers from the dry cleaner) are either certifiably insane - or they have yet to experience the pleasure of hanging clothes on these space-saving, spaghetti-strap-gripping beauties.

8. Collapsible Laundry Basket

As someone that has lived exclusively in tiny NYC apartments (yay!), Bed Bath & Beyond’s Collapsible Laundry Basket is a dirty laundry storage solution plucked right from my dreams. If only the basket could actually do the laundry too…

9. PowerCurve+™ Surge Protector

Like most dorm rooms, you’re going to have countless electronics hooked up to make it as bada$$ as possible. When the next crazy storm comes through and there’s a power surge, you’re going to want your expensive equipment to be protected!

10. Luxury Quilted Deluxe 3-Inch Memory Foam Bed Topper

Even a crappy, cramp-inducing dorm room mattress can feel like a luxurious, cushiony cloud with the right topper. This is the right topper. It's 3" of squishy memory foam that will bring you ultimate comfort whether you're getting in some Zs or As, Bs, Cs or Ds.
